Last week I thought of the best NPC of my life I can't believe I didn't think of this in time for the srm ny campaign GAH!!!
Ayumi Fujji is a second generation japanese american and sim star of global fame who plays glamorous martial arts savy sex symbols in multilmillion nyen action sims. Every guy wants to be with her, every girl idolizes her and the poperatzi is always trying to get footage of her. The real Ayumi is very different from her glamorous smiling media image in real life. She's certainly not mean or arrogant in fact quite the opposite: ayumi suffers from a severe social anxiety disorder. She has no problem acting in a predetermined environment but interacting with people is another story. Ayumi always walks around wearing oversized glasses and always with her front teeth out biting her lower lip. She is usually found hunched over her comlink playing matrix games in the corner of the room. When approached by the players (or anyone else) she will crane her head up just enough that they can see her eyes franticly darting back and forth as she panics searching for a response. if she is on a comlink her thumbs will move faster in concert with her panic. If not she will begin slapping her hands together either with her finger tips or perhaps by making fists and rapidly pounding her foreknuckles together. if the players ask what's bothering her and try to comfort her she may bite her nails and blurt out "ummmmmmm........................I'm just kinda shy". At this point she may use some of the drugs her psychiatrist has prescribed to help calm her anxiety. They will either be in pill or inhaler form depending on what drug they are experimenting with that week. If the PC's read her mind they will hear "oh god say something say something you retard you look like an idiot they think you're a moron now you're so stupid you should go home and hang yourself!". If one of them touches her in a friendly manner she might yelp in shock and quickly apologize. In fact "I'm sorry" is perhaps the phrase she will utter most often...she will constantly apologize for everything (even things that aren't her fault). If they are mean to her she may whimper and run off to a corner. If one of them touches her in anger she will quickly bring her foot up to kick them in the head; in fact her fighting talents are probably the only thing about her confident sexy characters that isn't fake (if anything she's even more lethal than her characters). Ayumi begin training as a little girl to defend herself from bullies and is now on par with the likes of Bruce lee holding the rank of master in karate, taekwondo and kung fu. After striking the character she will of course apologize. Now having panicked if another character attacks (or yells at her loudly) she will quickly down him and apologize too. Should she down all the players in this manner or perhaps a similar event occurs with hostile npcs she will realize the severity of her predicament and state "Oh no I'm going to get in so much trouble." (even if she was not at fault). Should the characters befriend her this will pass after they spend enough time with her for her to get comfortable around them. After that she will be normal warm and friendly (and is fairly charismatic). She will also shower them with extravagant gifts in an attempt to make up for her perceived inadequacies and buy their love (she will try to disguise these as thoughtful heartfelt symbols of friendship so the character does not think they are tacky bribes) Ayumi could be many things someone the pc's are protecting, following, spying on trying to earn as a contact or just the charity case they take to help delude them into thinking that they're not really heartless mercenaries. I have an excel character sheet to upload but I don't know how. |

Interesting. Not quite as good as the raven familiar Jim gave one of our players, but then, the raven was the best NPC ever made ever. Tabby was the runner up (a catgirl, and no, the two didn't exactly get along).
